TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the operational method of deriving cloud-motion winds from the IR image (10.5–12.5 µm) of the European geostationary Meteostat satellites.

TL;DR: In this paper, the WV channel has been recalibrated with a radiative transfer model using quality controlled radiosondes, and the observations are compared with brightness temperature calculations based on short-term forecast fields (12 and 24 h) of the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).

TL;DR: In this paper, a collaborative study between the European Space Operations Center, the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies investigated the relationship between satellite-derived monthly mean fields of wind and humidity in the upper troposphere for March 1994.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the annual variation of the upper tropospheric relative humidity fields extracted from radiance measurements in the water vapour channel (in the thermal infra-red at wavelengths around 6.3 μm) aboard the geostationary satellite METEOSAT.

TL;DR: In this article, the operational calibration of the water vapor channel of the Meteosat Visible and Infrared Radiation Imager (MVIRI) was analyzed through a comparison with a calibration coefficient derived from collocated satellite observations taken by water-vapor-sensitive channel 12 of the HIRS on NOAA 14.
